Okay, I know I’ve been a bad blogger recently. But I’ve also been so swamped. I’m up to my neck in killer unicorns, guys, plus I’ve got house guests. Plus I’ve got these little monsters to contend with:
And as you can see, that white one ain’t so very little.
Anyway, the winner of the Betina Krahn Giveaway is ELISA V. Elisa, email me with your address to receive your prize.
And, since i”m not fit for blogging at the moment, we’re just going to do another giveaway. yYy! This one has two prizes. I’m giving away the first two books in Jeri Smith-Ready’s WVMP Radio urban fantasy series: WICKED GAME and BAD TO THE BONE. Better yet, they’re signed! W00T!
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Jeri at a booksigning up the road in Maryland. Here we are at Constellation Books in Reistertown, a darling indie bookstore located in a beautiful old house:
Every time I think I’m “done” with vampires as a trope, some writer comes along to freshen things up, like Smith-Ready with her OCD radio DJs. The musical references fly fast and furious in these two novels, which led one of my fave old local DJs (before the format switched on HIS station and sent him packing) to say:
Jeri Smith-Ready’s vampire volume WICKED GAME will make your corpuscles coagulate with corpulent incredulity. It’s for youngbloods and old jugulars alike. Whether you devour it on SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY or just before DINNER WITH DRAC, simply turn off the 50-inch plasma, lay back, and LET IT BLEED.
— Weasel, WTGB-94.7 the Globe, Washington DC
How awesome is that?
Anyway, leave a comment here to enter. I’ll be giving way one copy of WICKED GAME and one copy of BAD TO THE BONE.

What a pair of boos. What is that, a kuvasz? Those things are huge. Snuggly and wonderful, but not what you’d call small.
The books sound awesome, Diana, count me in on the drawing. Thanks. =o)

That may be the best quote for a book I’ve ever read.

Hi
Thanks for holding this great contest.
I love the picture of the two of you in the indy bookstore (which looks amazing, what a great idea to have a bookstore in an old house).
Please enter me in the contest.

Dogs and books and MORE books … can there be more awesome in one post? Also, it is a very eerie thing to have the verification word be MY VERY OWN NAME. … It is a sign.*
* I don’t know what of. I just know I’m going to claim it’s signly powers before some other bugger does.

I’ve heard of these books and they sound really interesting!
P.S. – I’ve tried to contact you about this before, but I haven’t gotten a response from anything I’ve sent through the contact form. I won a copy of Lament (old cover) from you last year, and I never got it. Was there a problem?

Hey, Paradox. I sent out your book prize many months ago. I don’t know what could have happened. If I recall correctly, it was during Xmastime.

I’m up for the contest
Isn’t Constellation Books, grand? When I was a kid, I just wanted to stay in my local, old, homey library 24/7 and dream of reading all the shelves of books. Stores like Constellation remind me of my my childhood.
